Introducing Delogue’s sample management workflow for fashion teams

Keep samples moving and keep the season on plan

Sample management isn’t just about getting a parcel in and out.

It’s the working rhythm of product development: what’s been requested, what’s arrived, what’s blocked, and what can be approved. When that rhythm breaks, the calendar breaks with it.

Delogue centralises sample management inside the product record, so requests, feedback, deadlines and approvals stay connected and supports supply planning all the way to shipment.

Cloud based supply chain planning - right up to shipment

In practice, sampling is a timeline. You’re not only tracking “requested” and “received”; you’re managing how each round affects the path to production readiness and final shipment. That’s why supply chain planning depends on solid sample management - without it, readiness is guesswork.

Delogue let you set the foundation in Admin: seasons, structure, and milestones

Good sampling starts with a solid setup. In Delogue, the Admin module is where brands build the foundation for the season: the structure teams will work in, the rules that keep data consistent, and the milestones that make timelines real.

Time planning tied to every style and collection

Sample management becomes far easier when time planning lives where the work lives. Delogue gives teams visibility into when something was requested, what’s due next, and what’s already late - directly in the context of the style. 

That makes it easier to keep sampling moving without constant follow-ups. You can also assign to-dos to specific styles and specific people, so ownership is explicit rather than implied.

Supplier collaboration that reduces delays and repeat rounds

Sampling lives or dies on supplier alignment. When suppliers receive fragmented instructions, they respond with fragmented outcomes - and the next sample round becomes a correction round. Delogue reduces that by inviting suppliers into the same workflow, so requests, feedback and updates stay connected to the style.

Reporting as a module: one live overview across styles, tasks and approvals

Instead of piecing status together from trackers and inboxes, the Delogue’s PLM report module pulls directly from live workflow data, so what you see reflects the current reality across collections and styles. With this module you can surface sample status, outstanding tasks, pending approvals, and approaching deadlines in one place. The key is that it’s not just a snapshot for leadership; it’s usable day-to-day across every team involved in the product development process.

Built by the industry. Shaped with brands. Made for the day-to-day

Delogue is built by people who know fashion product development from the inside - and it keeps evolving through close, hands-on collaboration with brands using it every day. 

Across customer stories and day-to-day work, the same themes come up.
